Reading: Compare and Contrast


From Alaska to Zimbabwe, people all over the world love to dance. Whether you're in Rio or Rome, put some music on in a roomful of people, and it won't be long until they are moving and swaying to the sounds they hear. People just naturally want to express themselves through dance.
People may love to dance, but that doesn't mean that they dance for the same reasons. Many of the dances done by different North American Indian tribes have religious purpose. Similarly,many of the traditional dances of India tell the stories of Hindu gods and goddesses.

Dance can slso take many different forms. Ballet is a form of dancing that emphasizes the graceful movement of the dancer's arms and legs. Many ballets feature solo dances and pas de deux. dances with two people. Traditional African dancing, on the other hand, is usually a group activity. with the dancers in lines or circles.

Week 2 Day 3

Idiom of the Day

8:15-8:30

"Your pulling my leg."


What do we know about the idiom?

What do we not understand about the idiom?

Define and origins:
pull one's leg. When you pull a person's leg you are spoofing or making fun of him, usually in a good-humored way. But that wasn't always the meaning of the expression. When the expression first turned up in Scotland about a hundred years ago, it was lacking the lighthearted touch it has today. In those days 'pull one's leg' meant to make of fool of him, often by outright cheating. The best theory of the origin of the phrase is that by tripping a person -- pulling his leg -- you can throw him into a state of confusion and make him look very foolish indeed." From "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris (HarperCollinsPublishers).

Example: Hugo said told a story: last night and he saw his best friend Katy Pery. They went to get ice cream and when they were getting ice cream they met up with Usher. They all had a good time and Hugo won the lottery 5 million dollars on his way home. Wilmer said" Hugo you are pulling my leg."

8:30-9:15
Oral Language Development

Comparing and Contrasting

Scuba Diving

Scuba diving and snorkeling are water sports that many people enjoy. Both require a good mask and a pair of fins. Scuba divers receive hours of instruction and training. They learn to use oxygen tanks so they can explore deep under the water for long periods of time. Snorkelers, on the other hand, need almost no training. They see what's below the water by floating on the surface. Some snorkelers like to dive also., but they cannot stay under the water for long. They do not have oxygen tanks. They can stay under water only for as long as they can hold their breath.

Strategy: Understand the structure and look for key elements that organize the writing into compare and contrast:

similarly differently on the other hand also as well similar unlike too


Strategy: Are the two topics clustered together or is it alternating like a pattern
